I am PROUD to say that I just received a text from a biker/shipmate FRiend of mine that directed me to go to WRC 4 web page and they were reporting the story quoted above about the VN Vets going by the Park Rangers and ‘leading the crowd’ to view the wall....
Well, it appears the group was a bunch of shipmates of mine that were the removers - they are in DC for Ships Reunion and got caught up in this food fight......
I ‘reminded’ him of two of the more popular ‘lines’ of the era -
WE MUST DESTROY THE VILLAGE TO SAVE IT and
ONCE YOU HAVE THEM BY THE BALLS, THE HEART AND MIND SOON FOLLOW.
or...how about this one.
“DON’T PICK A FIGHT WITH A VIETNAM VET, CAUSE JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU CAN BEAT HIM, HE’LL Ki!! YOU.”
